Pav Bhaji (Indian Sloppy Joes)

Pav bhaji is nothing but a mishmash of vegetables that is simmered in onion and tomato sauce and spiked with a wide variety of spices. To me, the Pav bhaji is much much more than just a snack or a fast food. It is a quick meal that can be made in a hurry or that can be grabbed on the go. It is that perfect combo meal of butter toasted rolls and a vegetable gravy which again has oodles of butter. Tempting, isn’t it?
